IT'S HARD TO LISTEN when you live in an echo chamber.

ONE LAST IRONY from Virginia's gun rights protest rally:

Watching Virginia create a fenced in 'freedom zone', entrance guarded by armed men and metal detectors, not even considering the irony that no one could possibly be considered 'free' while only being allowed to protest from inside a cage and after being searched by state agents.

Nothing happened inside or outside the 'freedom' fence. And the protestors picked up their own trash.

Could it be that there is still a Tea Party?

DONALD TRUMP stumbles(?) into a foreign-policy triumph.

Stumbles? It's a 'stumble' to reject Deep State conventional wisdom in favor of God-given common sense? It's much more plausible to believe that our virtuous intellectual superiors in the 'governing class' (read as Deep State) stumbled into a deep hole years ago and have been digging furiously ever since.

President Trump offered them a ladder to climb out, which they ungraciously have refused, so it's time to take out the shovels and fill in the hole.

Stay tuned....

MEDIA AND THE LEFT trying to turn law abiding gun owners into frothing, racist, white supremacists. They're gonna be surprised when the 'frothing, racist, white supremacists' turn out to be on their side.

Except they won't: it'll all be Trump's fault....

THE TRUTH COMES OUT: Democrats believe you're guilty (of something) until they allow you to prove your innocence.
